WildBillyT · 02-19-2007, 08:19 PM

This is the one out west in PA, right? When I called the guy seemed pissed because a lot of people were jerking him around.

Firebird67dude · 02-19-2007, 08:20 PM

Idk if you bought it or what not. I didnt bother looking at the rest of the thread but form the one pic it looks like its an auto. The brake pedal is twice the size of the one that was in my 67 ans that was originally a straight 6 4spd car.

But what someone said those full body shells are crap.
If they were good I'd still have the 67 sitting in my driveway.

That really would make a great daily driver. Fix it up, throw some paint, maybe put on a 700R4 on the back of it, and take it for drives.

Why not? Wonder how involved doing a EFI upgrade would be? Maybe, if I had unlimited funds, put a 6L50E behind it, and 3.23 rears. Big brakes and air ride suspension....nice leather seats, AC and head...nice system...would m ake a HELL of a cruiser and maybe get 30+mpg. Suck on that, hybrid dbags.

WayFast84 · 02-20-2007, 05:19 PM

ive never been so happy that a car has been sold, i hope it makes some one real happy and its not a clone.

JL8Jeff · 02-20-2007, 05:32 PM

6 cyl cars are great for building pro-touring cars out of. But it takes, time, $$$, skills, $$$, a plan, $$$ to build a pro-touring car.

What could it be a clone of? It's a base model. Do you mean not turned into a clone? Because I'll bet it's a 68Z 6 months from now LOL.

FBODS4EVER · 02-20-2007, 07:28 PM

id offer 4000 as you can get a v8 one for 5995.

johnjzjz · 02-21-2007, 04:26 PM

just so you know the Baldwin cars as well as Nicky and others when they were purchased NEW by the dealers from ( COPO ) the police / taxi division of GM they were all base models - IE -= 6 cyl Vin's just so you know -- what i read you want to do will not increase the value that much , for me it the wrong way and will hurt the value -- no dought drilling holes in dumb places and alike the kind of thing in my shop we spend weeks fixing -- because you are young you do not realize the penitential of what can be done, and the fact you change your mind 25 times a second, the only idea you should be thinking about is -- if you do buy it clean and detail it -- no tools of an kind to be used on it -- come august trailer it out to PA , the Muscle car Chevy events July super Chevy and ask $12,000.00 for it -- take no less -- i do this for a living 35 years now you can double you investment money this year -- the people who tell you NO ( wont happen ) do not have any idea whats going on -- in November we did up a 69 car and made 12 thousand in the exchange but i have the money to spend -- its imposable to make 10 bucks out of 5 but inevitable to make 10 million out of 5 -- if you do it have fun and make a few bucks spend only what you have to not a Penney more -- jz--

John,

I don't mean to piss on your parade but COPO cars (9560 and 9561) as well as Baldwin, Nickey, Yenko, Dana, Berger, and other factory supercars had V8 vins. I'm no expert but I'm not aware of any exceptions. Even if they were not ordered via COPO, most had at least a V8 vin so they could get the proper driveline, etc.

Here is info regarding COPO 9560 cars:

124379 = Chevrolet Camaro V8 Coupe, 1969 model year.

bought a balwin car new from that snake joel -- it had a 6 cyl vin than and it has the same vin now i no longer own it but i have driven the car maybe 2 or 3 years ago -- i gave the original canseled check to the guy who owns it today -- jz

DieselKickYoAss4Sure · 02-21-2007, 06:19 PM

well good thing you didnt buy it wayfast because honestly you have better things to worry about dumping your money into in the future! and what you spend your money on is your own buisness. It was a nice looking car but you need lots of money,time and lots of capability to make it a nice sleeper or whatever you had planed on doing with it! take it from me you would be spending lots more than what you planned from the beginning!

A Phase III car? That's really what I mean... Plenty of six cyl cars were sold by Baldwin (as you know) and got engine swaps, etc.

NJSPEEDER · 02-21-2007, 07:22 PM

the early baldwin, nickey, berger, and yenko cars were all conversions, many woudl have 6cyl vins. 99%of the later cars were COPO orders that woudl have had V8 vins. there were still some conversions around as some cars were built without the "heavy duty" suspension that GM actualy stuck to their guns about requiring on any big block COPO car. many dealerships jsut ordered 6bangers, a 12bolt, cowl hood, and the engine from, the parts department and assembled the masterpiece in house.

yes i read too much.

billy in those days nobody knew about the scam joel and others have developed today -- you went to the dealer like his baldwin motors and their was Briggs Chevy i think it was is sayerville buy fords -- you went to the dealer and you could get a BBC 427 4 speed and a 12 bolt posi out the door Camaro nova in 68 impala Biscayne u no -- it was not the genuflect people think it was -- its all bull it was a way of getting a big power car today kind of thing -- joel has added so many cars to his book it a shame he made 2 Gs on a car than and today he will make yours a real deal for 10g -- ah hello
